LIBERIA POST-EBOLA : Home AHA News Liberia Post-Ebola

updates
October 9, 2019

AHA takes pride in the culmination of its collaborative efforts as Liberia is declared Ebola Free. AHA-Harper has worked continuously to provide technical support for Infection Prevention Control (IPC) in the “EBOLA MUST GO” campaign and has engaged in water and sanitation-related efforts. AHA has taken part in weekly Ebola Task Force and coordination meetings and the County Health Team has accepted AHA as a valued member, relying on AHA’s advice and guidance in responding to the recent outbreak of Pertussis in two districts.
Following a smooth transition from previous healthcare providers, AHA quickly consolidated staffing and partner referral pathways in the camp clinic and also ensured that Harper City’s refugee health program was incorporated fully into Liberian National and County level health-planning.
Lecturers from Tubman University were also included in the Standardized Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) recently conducted in all refugee camps by UNHCR in collaboration with AHA, its main health partner. The survey gave lecturers an opportunity to study the design and methodology of large scale surveys. SENS included a standardized assessment of malnutrition rates in children under 5, anemia in women of childbearing age, water and sanitation levels, and the use of Insecticide Treated Mosquito Nets (ITN) in the refugee communities.
Additionally, AHA provided technical advice and logistical support in the planning and implementation of a campaign for the Periodic Intensification of Routine Immunization (PIRI) for Polio and Measles.
In the immediate future, AHA will concentrate on improving health delivery in the refugee camp and will strive to assist the County Health Team to restore normal health services especially, maternal and child health services as well as improving access to standard surgical care in the county.
